    2004 6.0L PS bad idea?

    I have the same engine in my F-350 and I have 134,000 miles in it. It is stock and I have done all of the maintenance. I have had a few minor problems like a fuel injector needing to be replaced and the FICM (Fuel Injection Control Module) dyeing. The major problems with these engines are...

    Overheating

    Both oil and coolant are mixing... That is very strange, as oil is under a lot more pressure than coolant. You said that you filled with coolant and you were getting coolant out of the pan? May need to remove the heads and check for a cracked head or cylinder. I am out of ideas at this point.

    2000 7.3 TS chips problems

    Ford does not release much on the ECM flashes. Every time I have had an "improvement" installed by Ford, it hurts the power. If you are happy the way it is, do not let Ford reflash your ECM.

    02 7.3 Hard Start

    Check your glow plugs with an ohm meter. ground one cable and touch the other cable to each glow plug tip. you should see something like 1 - 10 ohms if they are good. ~ (infinity) means bad.

    RIMS

    No they have to have a lot of off set. The first goes on "backwards" and the second wheel goes on normal. The two tires must not touch or they will wear a hole in one or the other. SO there is something like 3/8 inch between the tires for spacing. They must be dually wheels or they won't fit.

    Winter is here

    Many of you may be having 'hard start' or 'no start' problems with your trucks. #1 cause is the batteries and #2 is the glow plugs and controller. Amazon has several glow plug controllers...

    2001 7.3L gremlins.

    You need to check and clean the battery cables and ground cables. Make sure ALL of the large cables are CLEAN and what they attach to is clean. Corroded cables are the number 1 cause of no start problems and they all crop up this time if the year - it is COLD and your truck needs every...

    Question Fuel Heater Coolant Hose Replacement

    You can't shape heater hoses. Just run it so it is smooth and no unnecessary turns or kinks. A smooth 1/4 circle might do it for you.

    6.4 engine seized.

    You have a rod that is bent and is binding. The 1/4 turn is my clue. As Joe said "Not good."

    Question Fuel Heater Coolant Hose Replacement

    What you have is a fuel heater. It uses hot water to warm the fuel. When cold it will not do much to warm the fuel, but it will after a few minutes. THIS IS NOT A FORD PART!

    Question Fuel Heater Coolant Hose Replacement

    You need to replace the hoses. They are shot. It should not take that much pressure from the clamp to seal the hose to the fitting.

    Dodge 1/2 ton with diesel?

    The price of gas has a lot to do with the fewer diesel engines in trucks.

    Help Needed ’02 7.3 saga – stalls, no start, can’t figure this out

    How many miles? Don't throw parts at the truck. I would get only Ford or Motorcraft parts (CPS, IPR). Other parts are generally junk.

    Contact SCT and ask them. It is a different system so it may not work on your engine.
